I am trying to flash a Samsung TS-H943 ms28 DVD drive. Every time I try to flash it with Jungle Flasher, it freezes up. I did disable the VIA VT6421 Card device drivers and in-stalled the Port IO 32 file. It works up until when I power the Samsung drive on with the CK3 connectivity kit, then after that, my computer freezes up and I would have to restart my computer. Does anyone know whats causing this problem that I am having? I am just trying to flash it with Jungle Flasher, not iPrep. Can someone please help me. Thanks.

Sounds to me like you're having problems with jf. Have you flashed any drives with it before?

If you can't use jungle and don't want to/can't use iprep, try dosflash32. I can use jf now, but with the earlier releases I would have the same problem...

I did purchase the VIA VT6421 PCI Card. I just can't have the drivers enabled due to Jungle Flasher. I just want to know why I can't flash the Samsung TS-H943 ms28 drive. When I do try to do it and power on the Samsung drive with the CK3 connectivity kit, my computer keeps freezing up. Can someone please help me. Thanks...c0afanh.

Have you got it connected to a molex in your pc? Mine continually reset the pc when using the pc molex until i wired it up to a spare atx psu i had kicking about and problem solved. Not exactly the same as freezing it i know but it might be worth a shot or try a different port/disable raid/enable legacy mode etc.

You may want to get the tray half way open, cut the power, and boot your computer, then power the drive a few seconds after windows begins loading, I had a sammy that I flashed with 0800 and it froze my comp when I tried to power it on, so I needed to power the drive while windows was loading.

Also try enabling the drivers on your VIA card, or if you've got on-board sata use that. Most on-board sata does not support hot-swapping and this can be problematic like HaggardSmurf said. You could also just use iPrep, then you wouldn't have to worry about driver intervention.
